Attic. 1,28, 5), the [[place]] [[where]] the judges convened [[who]], by [[appointment]] of [[Solon]], had [[jurisdiction]] of [[capital]] offences (as willful [[murder]], [[arson]], [[poisoning]], [[malicious]] wounding, and [[breach]] of the established [[religious]] usages). The [[court]] itself [[was]] called [[Areopagus]] from the [[place]] [[where]] it sat, [[also]] Areum judicium (Tacitus, ann. 2,55), and curia Martis (Juvenal, sat. 9,101). To [[that]] [[hill]] the [[apostle]] Paul [[was]] led, [[not]] to [[defend]] [[himself]] [[before]] the Judges , [[but]] [[that]] he [[might]] [[set]] [[forth]] his opinions on [[divine]] subjects to a greater [[multitude]] of [[people]], flocking [[together]] [[there]] and [[eager]] to [[hear]] [[something]] [[new]]: BB. DD. [[under]] the [[word]] [[Areopagus]]; and on Paul's [[discourse]], [[especially]] B. D. American edition [[under]] the [[word]] Smith's Bible Dictionary, [[Mars]]' Hill).
